I've got a table to finish and I'd love to find something equivalent to a product I used many years ago. It's Oxford Hybridvar Waterborne Alkyd Varnish. It has held up remarkable well and was easy to work with. It appears that Oxford Coatings is either out of business or has been acquired by someone else under a new name.
I'd prefer a water based product that can be sprayed. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

The same product is called EM2000 and it's had improvements since back then. Target Coatings is the company and they have never gone out of business. "Oxford" was just a brand name they used a couple decades ago before they standardized their naming convention.

Get on their mailing list so you get the discount codes which reduce the cost and help make up for shipping.

Thanks so much Jim. That's exactly what I needed to know and good to hear it's "old and improved" !

The EM8000cv is also excellent. Actually, I like all of their products. :)
